Chapter 127: Chapter 91: Thunder in One Hand, Sword in the Other, Lin Beichen Reveals His Holiness in Front of All
Chapter 91 Ghost? The ghost is actually Lin Beichen!
Deep in the mountains.
A dim light seeped through the human-height weeds.
A cave was perfectly hidden behind the weeds.
At this moment, inside the cave.
Tang Ru’s face was dirty, her expression aggrieved and panicked. Her bright eyes looked at Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong beside her, full of worry.
Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong were tied up, sitting against the cave wall, eyes closed, their bodies limply slumped together, subconsciously leaning on each other.
Hu Nodun and the other two were sitting not far from them.
At this time, one of them muttered, "How long has it been? Lin Beichen still hasn’t contacted us?"
"Let’s see who can keep their cool longer."
Hu Nodun sneered, then looked at the unconscious Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong: "Anyway, we have his parents. I refuse to believe he’s less anxious than we are."
"Right."
The other person nodded with a smile, then glanced at the time, saying, "Alek should be back soon, right?"
"Losing track of a college student, really... haha, I can’t wait to hear his excuse when he gets back."
"Yahan, I advise you to be a bit more restrained during the mission. Don’t provoke Alek too much."
Hu Nodun reminded, but then his face showed disdain and ridicule: "But once the mission is over and we’re back at the base, that’s a different story."
In the eyes of Hu Nodun and the other two.
No matter how Alek was before, he was now a joke, and a disgrace to the organization.
Losing track of just a college student?
Isn’t that embarrassing!
While they were chatting.
The phone rang.
"Ring ring... ring ring..."
Hu Nodun picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Zhou Tiezhu.
Could something have happened?
He frowned slightly and answered, "What’s up?"
"M-Mr. Hu Nodun."
Zhou Tiezhu’s voice was filled with pain and panic: "Xingwang... he’s dead."
"What?!"
The trio’s eyes widened.
Could it be...
Someone is coming to kill them?
They didn’t think of Lin Beichen or the police at first, considering the former as completely powerless and the latter wouldn’t kill lightly.
They thought of their enemies!
But due to the nature of their work...
They had too many enemies!
At this moment, they couldn’t determine who it was.
The atmosphere inside the cave became tense.
Hu Nodun immediately asked, "How did he die?"
"It seems... it seems he was struck by lightning."
"???"
The trio was dumbfounded.
Struck... by lightning?
Was their worry unnecessary?
Were they overthinking?
Just when they were at a loss for words.
Zhou Tiezhu continued, "It seems like he was struck by lightning, but I can’t be sure, so I called you, hoping you’d come take a look."
Hu Nodun thought it was necessary to check it out, just to be safe.
"Got it, wait there."
He hung up the phone and then said to Yahan, "Yahan, you’re the best at this among us. Go take a look."
"Okay, I’ll go now."
"Be careful."
"Got it."
The watch points of Zhou Tiezhu and Wu Xingwang were chosen by Hu Nodun and the others.
Yahan knew the location.
Braving the wind and rain.
Soon, he found Zhou Tiezhu.
"Mr. Yahan, come take a look."
Zhou Tiezhu met Yahan and pointed to Wu Xingwang’s body on the ground, saying, "I didn’t touch anything to avoid disturbing the scene."
"Well done."
Yahan gave Zhou Tiezhu an approving look, then went straight to Wu Xingwang’s body and squatted down.
Prying open his eyelids, checking his mouth...
After a careful examination.
He had a preliminary judgment—he was indeed struck by lightning.
"But..."
Yahan wasn’t ready to conclude and started inspecting the surroundings.
No wonder Hu Nodun said he was the best at this.
This is what professionalism looks like.
Ruling out all possibilities!
Soon, Yahan finished examining the surroundings, confirmed his judgment, and felt relieved.
Then he said to Zhou Tiezhu, who was anxiously waiting, "Apart from you and me, there are no other traces. Judging by the state of the body, he was indeed struck by lightning accidentally."
There was nothing else to handle here.
He patted Zhou Tiezhu on the shoulder and headed back to the cave.
"I’ll head back first. You figure out how to deal with the body."
"Okay, Mr. Yahan."
Zhou Tiezhu watched Yahan leave.
Not just him.
On a thick tree not far away.
Lin Beichen was also watching Yahan’s back until he completely disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Everything was under control!
From the moment Wu Xingwang was killed, every step.
Zhou Tiezhu reporting the situation, the people from the base coming to investigate and confirm the cause of death...
It was like they were all acting in the play he wrote.
"In this way..."
"Just follow this person’s trail to find their base."
Lin Beichen wasn’t in a hurry to follow Yahan.
For one, he was worried that if he followed too closely, he might be noticed.
Not out of fear of retaliation, but out of concern that they might not return to their base if they suspected they were being followed.
